On 12 October, the EU will launch its much-delayed entry/exit system (EES), which will require Brits and travellers from other non-EU countries to register on arrival.
However, not all EU airports will be operating the system from Sunday and, even where it is in operation, not all passengers will be registered initially.
Instead there will be a six-month rollout, with countries only required to operate EES at one border point on day one.
In Spain, this will be Madrid, which will be registering arrivals from a single, early-morning flight on Sunday, according to The Independent.
Spanish ports, including Bilbao and Santander, will be the last in the country to introduce EES, it added.
The newspaper said Dusseldorf will be the first German airport to use the new system to register arrivals, and in Norway – which is also implementing EES as part of the Schengen Zone – it will be Oslo.
Estonia, Luxembourg and the Czech Republic will be registering all arrivals from Sunday, said The Independent.
The Foreign Office and ABTA have issued new advice for travellers ahead of the launch this weekend.
ABTA Chief Executive Mark Tanzer warned at the ABTA Travel Convention in Mallorca that it is likely to lead to delays for passengers as they will need to provide biometric data and answer questions about their trip as part of the registration process.
